CSFTA HFT Round 1 North Oxon

An unusual start to the 1st round at North Oxon, no wind or rain! Although it was a cold start to the day it warmed up, perfect conditions to shoot in.

As always at North Oxon, it was a very tricky course that at times needed the ability to contort oneself into various positions that I think, don’t even exist even in the ‘Kama Sutra’. The layout of the course did however seem to have been set out by a left hander, as aptly demonstrated by the lefty in our group stating more than once “oh look another left handed shot!" (well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!).

Great shooting from Glen Newman from North Oxon with a 79 and North Oxon also top the table in Div 1, with Meon 5 sitting top of Div 2.

So to sum it all up………..a challenging course and a great start to a very popular and enjoyable contest, epically as the banter is always spot on as the rivalry between the teams starts to gather pace.

CSFTA FT Round 3 Meon Valley

Bright sunshine and a varying breeze met all those at Meon Valley. The course went in a 3 sided square with the low sun being particularly difficult for about 4 lanes. The wind changed between strong and nothing and getting it right proved difficult for many. Some long positional targets and different angles in some lanes made each lane a challenge to overcome. Top score of the day was from Dave Godwin with an impressive 37 as with 48 shooters participating.

CSFTA FT Round 2 Southampton Buccaneers

The early weather in the morning was certainly not the best for shooting but by the time 10am came around the sun was out. But so was the wind. The course ran right to left, starting at the top by the car park and moved down to the zeroing range. With a wind stronger than the previous round there were previous chances to miss. A great balance of long and mid-range shots, different angles up trees combined with the dips in the land made it even more of a challenge. The top score of the day of 38 was put by in both Justin Wood and Glenn Newman, and with plenty of places looking tight it looks like it is going to be a great contest this season.

CSFTA FT Round 1 Carisbrooke IOW

This is the start of the FT Winter League with the traditional off shore trip to the IOW. The weather was just about perfect for the shoot, blue skies and a subtle wind that made its presence known around the course. In typical IOW course setting fashion they had a virtually new course set in a circle, in various elevations. With the wind out to play there was no need for lots of long shots as even the shorter ones needed more windage than you thought. Top score of the day from Steve Privett with a 38 but with a few only a couple of targets behind.

North Oxon FT Open results

Shooters from a number of neighbouring regions and a stiff breeze visited the North Oxon club ground for their Open FT shoot last sunday. FFTA's Phil Hollis put in an early benchmark, just missing 4 targets from the 40. Despite conditions becoming more difficult as the day progressed SEFTA visitor Dan Eley later stole the show with just 2 misses. 'Lucky' Dan also took the bonus bunny cash draw prize back to his region as well.
